Pemberley Cottage

We had such a wonderful stay at Olivia’s place! The home was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, we especially loved the floor-to-ceiling window in the master bedroom with stunning views of the lake. The spacious deck was perfect for relaxing, and we were lucky enough to enjoy both a breathtaking sunrise and moonlight reflections on the water. The kitchen was incredibly well-equipped with everything we needed, and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches, fresh free-range eggs, butter, and bread waiting for us in the fridge. Our kids absolutely loved their time on the farm. A real highlight was visiting the pet cows and bulls with Liv and feeding them carrots, such a special experience! Malmsbury town is just a short drive away, and the bakery there is a must-visit, the pies are delicious! Thank you, Liv, for an amazing weekend. We hope to return again soon!

Cottage by the Lake

SusmithaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We had a wonderful family getaway at Ann’s place! It was the perfect escape from the city—peaceful, scenic, and full of charm. The cottage offered stunning views, and we loved being surrounded by so many animals. The kids especially fell in love with the dogs and are already missing them! The location is also ideal, with easy access to Hanging Rock and the lovely towns around the Macedon Ranges. We’d absolutely love to come back again!

Genevieve did everything possible to make our stay a great experience. I booked this as a surprise birthday getaway for my partner, and without me having to ask, Genevieve added a bunch of little treats to celebrate. Everything was super clean, and the little things like turning on the towel heater was a great touch for our stay. Both my partner and I had the best time, using the fire pit to toast marshmallows gifted to us by the hosts, and enjoying the beautiful sunrise with a cup of tea overlooking the most peaceful landscape. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a nice getaway, it is so worth the money.

An open studio space is highlighted by a large window that offers a view of the private backyard. A comfortable sofa is positioned in front of a wooden coffee table, with a television mounted on the brick wall nearby. Natural light fills the area.

can't thank Andrew enough for a beautiful stay. Home was gorgeous, clean and had the most delicious welcome goodies. Beds were comfy with beautiful linen and the farm was gorgeous and felt like a home away from home especially for our busy weekend of basketball. thank Andrew for thinking of everything we might need and being a great host! Kids especially loved Scrabble and watching the Hereford babies run around the paddock. thanks again - Harris' Family.

AishaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

What a fabulous property! Secluded yet so close to several towns. Beautiful country home that looks even better in real life. The neighbouring farm made the stay more exiting for the kids and we loved the feel of the home and the backyard fire pit and bbq area. We have recommended this property to all our family and friends. We look forward to staying again next time.

Trentham - Akyra Lodge

KerieRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Akyra Lodge was everything we hoped for. Spacious and yet cosy at the same time. Jojo had both fireplaces inside & the outside fire pit, stoked and ready to go when we arrived, which was a lovely added touch. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need including the butler's pantry. Our favorite thing was chilling in the sunken lounge at night. Locality wise it was perfect for us, the quaint little township of Trentham under a 10 min stroll away. Cafe, bakery & hotel all friendly & beautiful food. The General Store was very well stocked & surprisingly affordable. Thanks Jojo for the lovely stay. 🌺 Cheers Kerie & Billy

We had such a wonderful stay in mt Macedonia over the long weekend. We spent most of the time hanging out in the lounge room and playing pool at night. It was great for 3 families. We visited hanging rock one morning and had a counter meal at the local hotel. We also saw kangaroos in the mornings. Adam was a great host, really quick with communication and had some great tips for the region. Thanks Adam and Erika x

Absolutely loved our stay at Brad and CJ’s property. The house is huge, the yard is amazing and my dog had the time of her life. The fireplace and the living area is gorgeous.

SueRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Janes’s airbnb was lovely. Very clean and fresh and in a great position to walk to shops and nice cafes and restaurants. Also had a really lovely bakery close by. The bedding was crispy clean. Beds were comfortable too. Nice touches with the chocolate and bread and butter but especially for the fresh milk. Some Airbnb’s have a tiny carton of long life milk which my husband and I don’t like so this was nice to have our arrival cuppa with. Thanks Jane we will stay again if we are up your way 😃
